A god d amn oasis in the desert.. jaw dropping colour, punk energy and glorious DIY eclectic irreverence. Came for a look, stayed for a drink and brilliant chat with the endlessly helpful Dean. Make sure you visit this gem of a place while in Walthamstow! ⚡️

When I travel, I like to find unique, outside the mainstream activities. This art gallery/pub/shop definitely fit the bill. My friend and I were were one of a handful of people in there. Really enjoyed the art as you can see for just some of the pictures I took. Didn't order from the pub personally but lots of cool and comfortable seating available. Had fun perusing through some jewelry and miscellaneous wares as well. Would recommend for a quick outing!

Really cool experience, the massive disco ball was impressive! The staff at the cafe/bar are a mixed bag. One lady is super nice, the other is rather rude. Otherwise, I recommend popping in for a coffee or a beer if you're near the area.

Absolute hidden gem. Part neon workshop, part garage/museum. The vibe is electric. Grab a coffee, beer, or a sweet treat and soak it all in. Everyone is super friendly, it’s free to enter, and the photo ops are endless. A great spot! ✨
